And Pigs might Fly!

Henry R.Palmer This was Air Travel Bonanza Books 1967

People said "Pigs might fly" so in 1909 this little guy was taken for a little flight by pilot John Moore-Brabazon. I can't say either of them look like they're having fun.
 Baron Brabazon of Tara, as he was known by 1942 became Minister of Aircraft Production in WW2, no info on the pigs career.
